What's Wrong With This Picture?
Today in the mail I received correspondence from my Health Insurance for some testing I had done.

The testing cost $115.00
There was a "discount" of $101.64
My insurer paid $ 12.02
The balance was $ 1.34


Now, while I'm pleased with that part, it took six pages, an envelope, and 46 cents postage to tell me about the $1.34 and... it wasn't even a bill. The bill will be coming in the future in another mailing!

Am I missing something or is this just a small sign of why our health system is screwed up?
